Jax Taylor Accused of Using Burner Phone to Troll Cast Mate Luke Broderick; Jax Denies Being Behind It: “I’m Not Smart Enough to Have Two Phones” (Updated)

“Wasn’t me, Luke…my money’s on Danny.”

Jax Taylor has seemingly taken his “anonymous” trolling from social media comments to text messages. 

Earlier this week, Luke Broderick of The Valley appeared on an episode of The Viall Files podcast, during which he gave his unfiltered opinion on Bravo’s decision to continue allowing Jax to appear on ‘The Valley,’ despite the horrendous behavior he’s displayed throughout Season 2. (According to Us Weekly, Luke recorded the podcast episode before Jax announced he would not be returning to ‘The Valley’ for Season 3.) 

“ … I think it’s dangerous to give a person like [Jax] the platform that he has because there will always be apologist,” Luke stated on the podcast. “Look, Jax is entertaining. Maybe there is some sort of a show for him.” 

If not, he can always fall back on his alleged hockey admin job…

Following the release of the podcast episode, Luke took to his Instagram Story with a screenshot of a text message he received from an unknown number, telling followers that “someone didn’t like the podcast.” 

“Maybe you should not go on a podcast and talk s**t, you are a loser we never liked you, you did lasted longer then 6 months, grow some balls you can only be friends or talk to people Kristen [Doute] allows you to,” the text from Jax read. “We all knew you were whipped anyways never trusted you.” 

Kristen– Luke’s fiancée and baby mama– went on to share Luke’s Instagram Story to her own Instagram Story, while speculating who the unknown text was from. 

“This is 100 [percent] Jax from another number 😂,” she wrote. 

As fans of ‘The Valley’ know, this is the second time in as many months that Jax has been called out for trolling people using an alias. 

On an episode of ‘The Valley’ that aired in June, Jax’s soon-to-be ex-wife Brittany Cartwright revealed to castmate Janet Caperna– as well as viewers of the show– that Jax has a burner Instagram account under the name “Frank Dremon” which he uses to trash talk his adversaries and leave positive comments about himself. 

“This is even worse than my constant misuse of the word ‘whenever.'”

“Oh my god, did I tell you I found another comment that he did to himself on the burner account?” Brittany asked Janet during the episode. “So, it’s underneath the [post] that’s like, ‘Jax Taylor Ready to Be the No. 1 Guy in the Group,’ and [Jax] wrote, ‘He’s a legend,’ about himself and then somebody wrote back and said, ‘In his own mind.’

“It’s so cringey, I love it!” Brittany added, as a collection of other Frank Dremon comments appeared on screen. 

No notes, just second-hand embarrassment.

As mentioned above, Jax’s alleged trolling of Luke comes less than a week after Jax announced he is “stepping away” from ‘The Valley’ after Season 2 in order to focus on his sobriety, mental health and coparenting of his and Brittany’s 4-year-old son. 

“ … Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself – especially for our son, Cruz,” he told fans.

‘The Valley’ Season 2 reunion begins airing next Tuesday on Bravo.

UPDATE! Jax has responded to the accusations that he sent the text in question to Luke.

“There was a text last night, I don’t know, it came from a fake number,” Jax said on Thursday’s episode of his In the Mind of Jax Taylor podcast. “First of all, I’m not smart enough to have two phones, OK? I can barely work one phone. Someone said this came from a fake number that I wrote…this is a message supposedly— supposedly— that I sent to Luke. It doesn’t even make any sense.”

Jax read the text aloud and then stated he doesn’t know where the text came from.

“Couldn’t have been me! Look how technologically challenged I am!”

“It said it was sent two days ago, which is weird because I invited Luke to my birthday party, which is a week ago,” he said. “I gave my old refrigerator away to Luke two weeks ago, uh, three weeks ago. So I don’t know where this is coming from. This is not from me. I don’t know how this was sent to me. I don’t have another phone. I don’t know where this is coming from. But I just wanna let you know.”

Jax also claimed that, since the text was made public, he’s called Luke three times to deny sending it.

“He hasn’t picked up, and I texted him. I go, ‘Hey man, you know I got nothing wrong with you. I talked to you last week, the week before, invited you to my birthday. I gave you my fridge from my old garage. I went to Home Depot with you last month and helped you with some stuff…'”

“I know this went viral, but I’m just letting you know this did not come from me,” Jax continued. “I don’t have a fake phone or a fake phone number.”

He did admit to being “Frank Dremon” on Instagram, though.

  1. The problem with being a pathological liar is that no one will ever believe you. He has been a habitual liar since his first episode on VPR. He doesn’t even lie convincingly.🤣
